This is AMAZING!!! It is absolute perfection! My goodness! The right place, the right time, the right eye to see and catch it. Perfect composition, color, tone, everything. And your editing was right on. Great photo!

Comment from mikecunniff


good photo, i especially like the imagery of the water so clearly. One point of thought, you might want to consider using dramatic coloring...a black and white image with just 1 color

    Thank you so much! I changed to black and white for the contest!
    Is dramatic coloring something different?

    ever seen a photo with only one color. Kind of what Frank Miller movie Sin City. Where everything was black and white except for one element.

Beautiful black and white capture as well as tight framed comp. I really find myself drawn to his action, the focal refinement of his beautiful plumage as well as the caught in mid air water droplets returning to the water's edge. Great lighting.

You really caught some great shots of this heron. This one is really nice also. I love it in black and white. Good contrast . Focus is very good. Framing is well done.

Looks like this bird is doing the tango. Nice capture and only wish it were in color. Good blurred background here also. Very nice photo!

Comment from vulken


This is an amazing capture. I really like this. The black and white, for one thing, works well here. The action is what makes the intial impact strong. The focus is superb, even to the droplets of water at the bottom of the shot. The background is good. the contrast is good. Very nice image.
